Wealth Redistribution

All wealth has been redistributed at some time or another.  When you purchase an item, is it not a form of wealth redistribution on some scale?  Conflict concerning wealth redistribution usually arises from issues of how, when, and why. (Remember the questions we ask are just as important as the answers).  Wealth is gained and redistributed by trade, donation, plunder, and exploitation to name a few.  It is inherited, exchanged, forfeited, and even won.  What is often missed in the discussion is not whether wealth should be redistributed but how.  This is the foundation of the conflict concerning wealth redistribution.  Is it even possible to gain a consensus how wealth can be and should be redistributed?  What is fair?  Specifically, what does fair actually mean?  Is not the definition of fair itself as elusive as wealth itself?

Ancient Tower - a seed

Be not deceived, God is not mocked for whatever a man sows that will he also reap -Galatians 6:7.  This has been said many ways throughout human history and maybe beyond.  It has been called:

• The Golden Rule
• The Law of Reciprocity

• The Law of Gravity (What goes up...)

• Cause and Effect
• Input = Output
• Newton's Third Law (For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction)
• The Ripple Effect
• Karma

The list goes on.  Nonetheless, this is a timeless concept that applies to individual persons as well as it does inanimate objects.  While there are exceptions to these rules, should we behave as if the exceptions are in fact the rule?  More to come...
